Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus
About this ebook
In this urgent and inspiring follow-up to Revering God, Thaddeus Williams presents Reflecting the Son: How to Mirror Jesus, a bold call to move beyond shallow notions of "Christlikeness" that confuse it with mere niceness or vague spirituality. With clarity and conviction, Williams draws from philosophy, science, art, psychology, literature, and--above all--Scripture to reveal how worshiping Jesus transforms every aspect of life: our thinking, our emotions, our relationships, our creativity, and our purpose.
Organized around the acronym R-E-F-L-E-C-T, this book offers seven dimensions of mirroring Jesus:
- Reason like Jesus
- Emote his compassion
- Flip worldly power upside down
- Love radically
- Elevate others
- Create beauty that reflects his genius
- Transform all of life under his Lordship
With theological depth, cultural insight, and a winsome blend of humor and devotion, Reflecting the Son equips readers to live Christ-shaped lives in tangible, transformative ways. Each chapter closes with powerful testimonies from leading theologians and robust study guides--making this book ideal for personal growth, church discipleship, and small group study.
